Here's a recording of a Liveset we did recently. We went to remote place for a few days to work on some music and this came out of it.

Echoton at the lake

Echoton at the lake - live -

Recorded in Lisbon, Winter 2017. I present the first volume of Synthesizer Ditties inspired by a bygone age of witches and wizards, knights and dragons, enchanted swords, haunted graves, sacred forests and regal kingdoms. Recorded almost entirely on a Korg Monologue + spring reverb / LN76 (TR-08 on some ditties also). I've not made the other volumes yet, but when i do, maybe i'll put it out as some sort of expensive compendium or do a limited dubplate run or something else annoying like that? Get in touch if your into it: Huzzah!

Medieval Ditties Vol. 1.

Taken from E B U's debut album 'Hinge' -
... Available to preorder now:
ltd edition vinyl: rwdfwd.com
digital: nocorner.bandcamp.com

"Celebrating otherness, E B U casts a universe of her own both sonically and visually. Defying any one genre, she refers to her distinct sound as 'Swamp Pop'. Unnatural sounds and pitches exhale in melodic chants, ominous basslines resound and eerie loops fixate in this macabre ensemble. You are captive in her world. Moments of haunting clarity keep you wondering where she will take you next whilst strange narratives unfold. Her chameleonic visual display is charged with emotion, keeping you suspended in a state of flux as she orbits through the spectrum. Stimulated by human behaviour and existence she questions the very nature of being, and invites the audience to explore through her cathartic performance."

To our ears, her sound captures elements of the radiophonic qualities by electronic pioneers such as Delia Derbyshire, through to unlikely melody and harmony akin to that of Ryuchi Sakamoto or Laurie Anderson. 

It's an explorations of strange places with a weird & wonderful sphere, sonically capturing the colourful intensity of Alejandro Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain, or perhaps sounding like a much more out-there, much more convincingly extra-terrestrial Space lady... These are just vague comparisons though... Essentially, her sound is a total world of it's own. 

Hinge, E B U's debut album, is an outer body experience that will conjure up memories you never had before, images you can't quite place but somehow relate to, and a sense of sweet disorientation as you slip into a whirlpool of shapeshifting melody, harmony and frequency.

BEN SHEMIE - Ties That Bind

From poking stove elements with pencils, to recording the ambience of a teapot, and playing balcony railings, mnk is an album which restlessly re-imagines everyday sounds. FenGi is the moniker of the Turkish sound artist Altuğ Kaptan, and mnk represents his extended examination of the vibratory and the resonant. It is an album which blurs the boundary between object and instrument, at one point Altuğ performs by simply opening and closing doors, at another he reworks recordings of the violin. Altuğ describes himself as someone who ceaselessly records sounds, seeking spontaneous moments amid the everyday. In his debut solo album mnk we discover an artist both courageous and frenetic, who sitting amid the boiling stove pots, and the sliding doors of his home finds music.

Mastered by Nima Aghiani
Art is the work Rug by Tuba Kaptan

Full tracklist: bleep.com/features/bleep-mix-130-Rival-Consoles

In the light of Articulation, his new album for Erased Tapes, Rival Consoles shares a selection of tracks that compliments the producer's latest electronic opus perfectly.
Opening with the seemingly weightless yet driving pulse of Ostgut Ton's Barker, the mix moves deftly through further immersive cuts from Four Tet, Stimming & Marcus and the blissful breaks of Skee Mask. Before culminating in the fluid contemporary orchestrations of Actress x LCO and closing with the amniotic drone of Alessandro Cortini and the arpeggiated modular ataraxia of Caterina Barbieri.
Heads down vibes and after hours euphoria in equal measure to be savoured.

"It's Sunny Outside"

Sound Mixed and Compiled by @patientbetterdrivers aka @matteomanzini
Visual Interpretation by @julba

Welcome to the new Pluie/Noir podcast series. 8 years after our debut we decided to press the reboot button and return to our roots. With a new format and back to a regular monthly schedule, Pluie/Noir Interscapes will feature audio collages, mixes, live interviews and live recordings from P/N artists, friends, and other collectives we admire.

Because less is more, instead of the usual triptych format, this series will feature one single A3-A1 visual interpretation of the music by a graphic artist. The artwork will be available to purchase in poster format on our rebooted Bandcamp page very soon, with cassettes or CD-r of the mixes as a bonus.

For Interscapes 04 we welcome patient better drivers aka @matteomanzini, the very talented London-based Italian artist behind @wantrecords, with a visual interpretation by a familiar artist to the series, the French artist @julban

self-titled is a music magazine that has nothing to do with music. At least not in the traditional sense of self-important ‘criticism’ and profiles that read like regurgitated press releases. Yes, we print reviews and thought-provoking features, but we also pride ourselves on answering the questions others don’t ask. Find out what some of those questions are by reading our daily site or one of the back issues below.
